REAR SUSPENSION TOP LINK ALTERNATIVES

Postby JWC8220 » Mon 09.11.2026, 19:15

Found this wesbite that sells top links for a Honda Accord. These with some modification work perfectly well for the Lotus Elan and are a fraction of the cost at £67 for four!

1. both sides of eyes need to be trimmed to line up correctly with rear hub
2. polyurethane bushes need removed then trimmed to same size as eyes
3. original sleeve from old top link fits perfectly (with some encouragement!) into the bushes
4. paint up modification

That's a good find. How many Honda parts is that we can fit to our Elans now, quite a few!. ;-)
